Ch. 81Qian Renxue's fury: killing with a borrowed blade
Tang Mo uncovered Prince Xue Xing’s role in Ge Yi’s scheme and sent Qian Renxue a plan to use the prince as a scapegoat. As Qian Renxue set the plan in motion, Prince Xue Xing remained unaware and met with Xue Beng, who secretly feared Xue Qinghe had been replaced.
- Tang Mo deduced that Prince Xue Xing backed Ge Yi and had sought to turn Tang Mo against the Heaven Dou Empire while sowing distrust between Xue Qinghe and Ge Long.
- Tang Mo sent Qian Renxue a letter proposing that Xue Ye’s other children be poisoned and Prince Xue Xing framed for the deaths.
- Qian Renxue ordered She Long to carry out the plan, and She Long began contacting the Temple Knights of Qian Daoliu’s Faction.
- Prince Xue Xing visited Xue Beng and questioned whether he still intended to contend with Xue Qinghe for the throne.
- Xue Beng told Prince Xue Xing that he had to fight in secret, while privately fearing that Xue Qinghe had been replaced, and the two sat together in silence.
